When Chris was on the Nerdist podcast, he told a story about how pissed off James Cameron was about the fake Abyss trailer he and Gerry showed. While they were filming, he (Chris) was one of the few actors Cameron never screamed at, but after this interview, he stopped speaking to Chris to this day.

He wrote for Dave for decades, retiring in 2004 but continued to appear on the show. He was also the show’s Segment Producer in the early ‘80s while still writing. And he was Head Writer while Steve O’Donnell took a sabbatical, Fall ‘84 to early ‘85. So, no, he wasn’t merely Chris’s “lackey.” He was a major part of Dave’s career.
